enEuro 2016 Qualifying Review: Wales and Iceland take step towards finalsAfter respective victories over Belgium and Czech Republic, Wales and Iceland are well placed to end their major tournament droughts.http://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/euro-2016-qualifying-review-wales-and-iceland-take-step-towards-finals
Wales and Iceland are in pole position to qualify for Euro 2016 after crucial wins in qualifying on Friday.
Gareth Bale scored the only goal of the game as Wales beat Belgium 1-0, the Real Madrid forward marking his 50th cap for his country with a simple finish after a terrible defensive header from Radja Nainggolan.
The result puts Wales - seeking to qualify for their first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup - three points clear of Belgium in Group B.
Iceland have never played in the finals of an international competition, but now head Group A by two points from Czech Republic after beating the 1996 runners-up 2-1.
Midfielder Borek Dockal put Czech Republic ahead in the 55th minute before Iceland turned things around thanks to goals from Aron Gunnarsson and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson.
Netherlands are a further three points back in third in that group after Georginio Wijnaldum and Luciano Narsingh netted to secure a 2-0 win at Latvia and ease the pressure on Guus Hiddink following last week's 4-3 friendly loss to United States.
Croatia maintained their place at the top of Group H with an eventful 1-1 draw against 2012 finalists Italy.
Mario Mandzukic - who four minutes earlier had seen his penalty saved by Gianluigi Buffon - slotted in the seventh-minute opener from close range after Italy forward Stephan El Shaarawy's strike had been incorrectly ruled out for offside.
But Italy did level thanks to Antonio Candreva's chipped 36th-minute spot-kick before Croatia's Darijo Srna was sent off late on for a second bookable offence.
Italy remain two points behind Croatia in second with Norway a further two back in third following a disappointing 0-0 draw with Azerbaijan.
Elsewhere, Turkey won 1-0 at Kazakhstan, Bulgaria beat Malta 1-0, Bosnia-Herzegovina overcame Israel 3-1 and Cyprus claimed victory at Andorra by the same scoreline.news_articleFri, 12 Jun 2015 21:50:31 +0000Anonymous402886 at http://www.fourfourtwo.comIsrael FA unlikely to be banned, suggests BlatterSepp Blatter has moved to play down rumours the Israel Football Association could be banned after talks in the country and Palestine.http://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/israel-fa-unlikely-be-banned-suggests-blatter
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has distanced his organisation from reports the Israel Football Association could face a suspension over its treatment of Palestinians.
Blatter has spent two days in Israel and Palestine in an attempt to separate football from political tensions.
Palestine's football authorities hit out at Israel playing fixtures in Jerusalem earlier this year, while the Palestinian Football Association has accused Israeli counterparts of allowing "humiliating treatment at the border by relevant Israeli authorities" and "violent acts by Israeli security forces during football matches… under the authority of the Palestinian National Authority".
Blatter has announced a number of measures set to be implemented in an attempt to ease the tensions, but stopping Israel from playing football will not be one of them.
A Blatter statement on FIFA's official website read: "I had constructive meetings with the Palestine political and football authorities.
"We all agree football should unite not divide. I came on a mission for peace – football should foster peace and leave politics aside. Based on my talks over the last two days, I remain confident, despite the challenging situation, that we should be able to find a solution in the interests of football and all parties involved ahead of the Congress.
"We discussed how we can tackle the issue of the mobility of Palestinian players and football officials.
"We'll promote a regular exchange between the Israeli and Palestinian authorities through a working group with the participation of FIFA that should meet on a monthly basis.
"As FIFA President, I do not see that a suspension of an association is a solution."news_articleWed, 20 May 2015 17:01:22 +0000Anonymous391530 at http://www.fourfourtwo.comWilmots pleased with Belgiums responseMarc Wilmots had nothing but praise for Belgium after they rallied from captain Vincent Kompanys dismissal to defeat Israel 1-0 in their Euro 2016 Group B qualifier.http://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/wilmots-pleased-belgiums-response
Marouane Fellaini opened the scoring in the ninth minute in Jerusalem but the visitors were forced to do it the hard way following Kompany's sending off.
Kompany saw red for a second bookable offence with 26 minutes remaining, though Belgium held on to go top of Group B.
"I couldn't see why Vincent Kompany got the second yellow card but as a [former] player I have great respect for him," Wilmots said afterwards.
"Everyone continued to work and did most back for the score. The players responded well, the team was very supportive."
Tuesday's victory helped Belgium move top of the group, ahead of Wales on goal difference after five matches.
Israel - unbeaten before the international break - are two points adrift following back-to-back defeats.
"It is hard for Israel after starting the campaign with nine points out of nine and then losing two home games," Wilmots added.
"It must be hard but we came ready to win the game and I believe that it wasn't luck why we won."
Opposing coach Eli Guttman felt Israel deserved to take something from the match, praising his players for a "dynamic" performance.
"We didn't deserve to lose this match– one moment of lost concentration and the whole game went," said Guttman.
"This was the Israeli team I wanted to see, dynamic and eager.
"We started slowly but we upped the tempo. The goal we conceded angers me because we had markers on all the players, yet we lost focus and that hurts.
"I'm going home tonight a different man than after the game against Wales. We played against a team rated fourth in the world and we pushed them hard. I want to thank our wonderful crowd. The match against Bosnia is now crucial and we hope to push on and finish second in the group."

Manchester United midfielder Fellainiscored twice in Saturday's 5-0 thumping of Cyprus, and made the difference again in Jerusalem - his ninth-minute strike putting Belgium top of Euro 2016 qualifying Group B.
Captain Kompany picked up a second yellow card 26 minutes from time to ensure the visitors endured a tense end to the game, but they held on to move above Wales on goal difference.
However, Kompany's dismissal means Belgium will be without their skipper when they travel to Cardiff for a key clash with Wales in June.
Belgium were on the front foot from the start and it came as little surprise to see Marc WIlmots'men break the deadlock.
There was little craft about the goal,as Kompany latched on to a sliced volley at the back post and saw his effort parried on to Fellaini, who bundled over the line.
Despite their control, Belgium struggled to craft clear-cut opportunities for the rest of the first period and Israel improvedafter the interval.
Thibaut Courtois was forced into a couple of fine saves by Eran Zahavi with the hour mark approaching, but Israel's biggest boost came a few minutes later, as Kompany picked up a second booking.
Courtois was again called into action to deny Ben Sahar shortly after Kompany's departure, but Belgium withstood late pressure to claim all three points.

Both Israel and Palestine claim the disputed city of Jerusalem as their capital, and the decision to stage the match at Teddy Stadium has prompted anger among officialsat the PFA.
Israel have only previously played three senior international matches at the stadium, and played their most recent qualifier - a 3-0 defeat to Wales - in Haifa.
In a statement addressed to UEFA, the PFA said it was "resentful" of the decision.
Israel, who sit second in Group B,are also scheduled to face Cyprus in Jerusalem in October.

The forward has been the main focus of scorn from the Spanish media and Real supporters following the capital club's difficult start to 2015, with the former Tottenham man's car damaged after the 2-1 Clasico defeat against Barcelona.
However, Bale gave a timely reminder of the talent that saw Real shell out a club-record fee for his services in September 2013 with a starring role in Wales' 3-0 victory againstIsrael in Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifying contest.
The 25-year-old set up Aaron Ramsey for the first, before scoring twice in the second half in Haifa.
"I don't need to answer the critics,"Bale said. "I know, and everyone around me knows, what I can do.
"There are ups and downs in football. You have to take it with a pinch of salt and all you can do is respond with your performances on the pitch, like that.
"I don't feel I need to prove anyone wrong or right, I just need to play my football."

Real Madrid star Bale has been much maligned by the club's supporters and the Spanish media in recent weeks as the Liga giants have struggled for form in 2015.
But the former Tottenham man was at his dazzling best in Haifa, first assisting Aaron Ramsey to make it 1-0 shortly before the break.
Bale added the second with a stunning free-kick and rounded off the scoring in the 77th minute after Israel had Eitan Tibi sent off.
Unbeaten Wales subsequently leapfrogged their opponents to go top of the group, but Bale wants no let-up as they seek qualification to a first major tournament since 1958.
"We knew what a big game it was. A top-of-the-table clash and we don't often say that," he told Sky Sports.
"To come out on top is amazing. We're top of the league and we go on from here.
"The first half was hard and we did a lot of running. We closed them down well and the goal gave us confidence.
"We came out in the second half buzzing, we played good football and showed how good we are.
"We've put ourselves in a great position, but there's a lot of work to do yet, and all we can do is keep fighting and keep working hard."
One of the main plusses for Wales was the excellent combination work between Bale and Ramsey throughout.
Arsenal man Ramsey is now already looking ahead to what could be a crucial encounter against Belgium in June.
"We're where we want to be. We've had a terrific start to the campaign and we hope we can continue that," he added.
"We have a tough game against Belgium, but we're really looking forward to playing them in June."

Bale has found himself the main scapegoat for Real's struggles in 2015, with Spanish media and supporters alike criticising the forward, who had his car damaged following the recent Clasico defeat to Barcelona.
However, Bale showed no ill-effects in Saturday's clash in Haifa as he set up Aaron Ramsey to head home the opener and give Wales a deserved first-half lead.
The former Tottenham man doubled the lead after the break with a superb free-kick, before Israel's hopes were all but ended when Eitan Tibi was sent off for fouling Bale - having also committed the foul that led to his first goal.
Bale capped a fine outing by sweeping home the third, as Wales inflicted Israel's first defeat of their qualifying campaign and maintained their own unbeaten record to boost their chances of reaching a first major tournament since 1958.
Bale signalled his intentions early and was at the heart of Wales' efforts going forward, including a wasted gilt-edged chance to take the lead in the 19th minute.
A superb low cross from the left found James Collins free at the back post, but the centre-back produced a finish befitting his position, getting the ball trapped under his foot with the goal gaping.
Israel almost punished that miss with their first meaningful effort, but Wayne Hennessey saved smartly from Eran Zahavi.
The hosts lost Group B's top scorer Omer Damari to injury and they were dealt a double blow on the stroke of half-time.
Hennessey's long punt down field was missed by home defenders and Bale nodded into the path of Ramsey, who timed his run into the area to perfection to loop his header over Ofir Marciano.
Joe Ledley hobbled off shortly after the restart, but the Welsh fans were celebrating again in the 50th minute.
Tibi chopped down Bale on the edge on the area and the Real man picked himself to curl a superb effort beyond a motionless Marciano.
A minute later Tibi's bodycheck on Bale resulted in a second booking as Israel began to unravel.
Despite a brief Israel rally, the visitors continued to make the better chances and substitute Sam Vokes - making his first international appearance in 12 months due to a serious knee injury - forced a smart stop from Marciano.
A third goal duly arrived in the 77th minute, dazzling footwork from Ramsey left the Israel defence bamboozled and he teed up Bale to drill home into the right-hand corner – giving the 25-year-old a much-needed confidence boost before returning to Madrid.

Bale was targeted by Real fans following the club's 2-1 Clasico loss to Barcelona last week, with the embattled forward's car attacked as he sped away from the Valdebebas training ground in Madrid.
However, Bale does not seem to be affected by the fall out in the Spanish capital, with Coleman adamant the 25-year-old is focused on helping Wales overhaul Group B leaders Israel atop the standings in Haifa.
"I cannot see any difference in Gareth at all," said Coleman.
"If I thought it was bothering him, because I know things like that can bother you and get you down, and it was affecting him we would have sat down and talked about it. But he has not mentioned Real Madrid, we have only talked about Wales and this game.
"He is happy, relaxed and, most important of all, fit."
Wales are second in the group, one point adrift of Israel, who have a game in hand.
news_articleSat, 28 Mar 2015 05:50:15 +0000Anonymous367538 at http://www.fourfourtwo.comAllen thrilled with Welsh sides hungerWales midfielder Joe Allen applauded a greater hunger within Chris Colemans squad ahead of the teams Euro 2016 qualifier away to Israel.http://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/allen-thrilled-welsh-hunger
Coleman's side have arrived in Haifa with eight points from four matches - second in Group B behind leaders Israel (nine from three) - putting Wales in arguably the best position to end their major tournament drought since 2003, when they lost a two-legged play-off to Russia.
Many expect Belgium (five points, three games) to overhaul both Wales and Israel before the end of the qualifying campaign, meaning Saturday's clash in Haifa could decide which team finishes second and earns an automatic spot at the European finals in France.
Allen believes that, unlike in the past, the Welsh squad have arrived in camp keen to play and prove themselves.
"We feel we have quality and much more strength in depth than we had in the past and seem to have less people dropping off," he said on Thursday.
"We are all excited to come away with Wales and excited for the challenges which are ahead. If you look at the last game at Belgium away [that finished 0-0], the commitment and hunger was obvious, and I don't think it always has beenin Wales' international games.
"It is certainly there at the moment and with the group of players we have got I am hoping it is going to be around for years to come as well."
Wales have only qualified for one major tournament in their history - the 1958 World Cup - but went very close in the play-offs for Euro 2004.
After drawing 0-0 in Russia, the likes of Ryan Giggs, Gary Speed and Robbie Savage looked set to lead Wales to Portugal but they lost 1-0 in Cardiff.
Allen was at that match.
"I was at the Russia game, my school used to go to the Millennium Stadium," the 25-year-old said.
"I remember the disappointment of that night, as do a lot of the lads. We came so close and that is extra motivation for us.
"For youngsters and supporters to have experienced that, we want to be the group to get there."
news_articleFri, 27 Mar 2015 06:55:10 +0000Anonymous367120 at http://www.fourfourtwo.comEuro 2016 Qualifying: Israel v WalesIsrael and Wales face a pivotal moment in their respective bids to reach Euro 2016 when they meet in a qualifier in Haifa on Saturday.http://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/israel-v-wales-pivotal-fixture-both-sides-chase-euro-dream
The teams - seeded third and fourth respectively - occupy the top two spots in Group B, which also features Belgium and Bosnia-Herzegovina, and are yet to taste defeat during the current campaign.
Indeed, Israel have won all three of their fixtures so far, but former Wales manager John Toshack is confident Chris Coleman's men - who have picked up two wins and two draws - will eventually qualify for a first major tournament since 1958.
"I really do feel this is our time," Toshackis quoted as saying by BBC Sport."I think Chris has been in there long enough and he knows what he's got and he knows how best to go about it.
"Israel away from home won't be easy. It will be a tough, difficult game."
Saturday's fixture will see Wales captain Ashley Williams rack up his 50th cap, having made his first appearance in 2008 before joining Swansea City from Stockport County.
"It has been everything I've ever wanted - and more - in my career," he said earlier this week."To actually reach 50, it's such a big milestone. There have probably been better players than me who haven't got there.
"We all know how big this game [against Israel] is. None of us will be playing it down.
"With how close the group is, we're very confident to go anywhere and get a result and we're not afraid to say that anymore."
Williams could come up against a familiar face in the shape of Maccabi Haifa striker Itay Shechter, who spent the 2012-13 season on loan at Swansea.
Shechter says his family still has a soft spot for Wales and that he is daunted by the prospect of coming up against former skipper Williams.
"When I had to leave Swansea my wife was crying," he told the South Wales Evening Post."It was good for me, much better than Germany [where he played for Kaiserslautern]. It was a good place for my family.
"It will be hard to play against Ashley because he is one of the best central defenders in the Premier League."
One of the keys for Wales will be how Gareth Bale responds following fierce criticism of his performances for club side Real Madrid - the attacker is likely to be a central figure in what is arguably Wales' biggest fixture since losing a Euro 2004 play-off against Russia in 2003.

Vokes is set to make his first appearance in a Wales shirt since March 2014 after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in Burnley's 2-0 Championship loss to Leicester City.
The last time Vokes played for Wales, he scored as Chris Coleman's men accounted for Iceland 3-1 in an international friendly.
A lot more is at stake this time around, with second-placed Wales hoping to leapfrog Israel atop the Group B standings when the two teams meet in Haifa on Saturday.
"We've all seen how much Gareth's evolved as a player and he's world-classnow," Vokes said.
"We know that he brings a lot to us for our games and on a personal note thereis nothing better than to play with those sorts of players.
"As a striker my last few goals for Wales have come off the back of himputting crosses into the box and getting down the line.

With several groups wide open and the likes of holders Spain and world champions Germany far from guaranteed an automatic qualification place, the next round of fixtures could prove vital.
Here we take a look at the encounters inthe nine Euro 2016 qualifying groups.
Group A
Group A has already thrown up its share of surprises with Netherlands having suffered defeat to the Czech Republic and Iceland. The Dutch, who last failed to qualify for the tournament thelast time France held the Euros in 1984, face a crucial encounter against Turkey in Amsterdam. The Czech Republic protecta 100 per cent win record at home to Latvia, while Iceland - who welcome record goalscorer Eidur Gudjohnsen back from international retirement - head toKazakhstan.
Group B
Belgium face a potentially crucial double header having drawn two of their first three matches. First up is a clash with Cyprus - who sit in the play-off spot - on Saturday, before they travel to Israel for a rearranged qualifier on Tuesday. Group leaders Israel are also in action twice and host unbeaten Wales, who are seeking to play a first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup, on Saturday. Bosnia-Herzegovina aim to kickstart their campaign in Andorra.
Group C
A group expected to be dominated by Spain remains wide open thanks to the defending champions' defeat to Slovakia in October. Vicente del Bosque's side host Ukraine with both teamson nine points, while Slovakia will hope to make it five wins from five against Luxembourg. Elsewhere, Macedonia host Belarus.
Group D
It remains all to play for in Group D, whereworld champions Germany are among three teams on seven points chasing leaders Poland. Joachim Low's men face a difficult trip to Georgia, while Republic of Ireland look to derail unbeaten Poland in Dublin. On paper Gordon Strachan's Scotland have the easiest task against Gibraltar - for whom David Wilson will take temporary charge against his native country.
Group E
Wayne Rooney sits three goals shy of tying Bobby Charlton's goalscoring record for England and he will look to take a step closer when the runaway leaders host Lithuania at Wembley. Slovenia and Switzerland will expect points in home encounters against San Marino and Estonia respectively.
Group F
Northern Ireland have never played in the Euros, but a victory at home to Finland would go a long way to changing that fact. Group leaders Romania host a Faroe Islands outfit buoyed by a shock victory over Greece last time out. Winless Greece are in desperate need of three points in Hungary.
Group G
With three wins and a draw,Austria have proved the team to beat in Group G and a trip to Liechtenstein offers a greatchance to add more points to the board. Just one point separates second-placed Sweden - who face Moldova -and Russia - who head to Montenegro -one spot below them.
Group H
With just one point separating the top three, Group H heads into a potentially vital weekend. Croatia head the way on goal difference and host third-placed Norway in Zagreb. Italy will hope to take advantage of any dropped points in that match when they faceBulgaria, while former Croatia star Robert Prosinecki takes charge ofAzerbaijan for the first time against Malta.
Group I
With only five teams inthe group, leaders Denmark do not have a qualifying fixture. Portugal can subsequently go top by beating Serbia, while Albania attempt to move level on points with Denmark as they welcome Armenia.
